The Madcap

Delusions

All is true
All I believe
Alternative views
Are not welcome

I have been told
Instructed in tales
Stories heroic
Morals from on old

I don’t care what you tell me
No evidence leads to change
No science invalidates
No truth overwhelms

I will never change
My heart is steadfast
My mind focused like stone
I have all I need to survive

--

When new knowledge reaches the public eye
Why do so many ignore the new truths?
Why do so many discard the new facts?
Why do so many imagine they own reality?

Deluded fools who think wisdom is never changing one’s mind
No matter what the circumstances, no matter what is said
They are buried in graves of absent thought
With no hope of self-improvement

--

There is truth
Why ignore it?
Why sit steadfast
In your delusions?
